PRAY: THE GREATEST CONVERSATION OF THE DAY!

"Pray without ceasing." 1 Thessalonians 5:17. It can't be stressed enough that prayer is the best preparation to enter into the stresses of everyday life. If we start our day in connection with God, we can carry that throughout our day. Anytime. Anywhere. If you feel like you need help, guidance, peace, wisdom, He's there!

"If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you." John 15:7. Seek to be close to Him, search His Word & pray. When we bring the question, God brings the answer! It may not come right away, but that's when we must wait & trust in His timing:

"Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord." Psalms 27:14.

"Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:" Matthew 7:7. Although it is exciting to hear that God is ready to provide & supply all our needs, it also should be said that prayer is not just about reception; it's about conception: the conception of a beautiful relationship with Him! The connection to the Source is as important as the Source! If our connection is weak and not genuine, then God just becomes a business, because we are not giving anything in return. Think about it: we expect a mutual relationship with our significant others, but we do not expect that from the person we buy our groceries from. Remember, God should be first in our lives. He should be our everything if we want to receive anything from Him. If we do think in terms of conception of a relationship, then that conception leads to a new birth:

"Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." Acts 2:38.

Pray without ceasing; be confident in God! A RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS IS THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING; IT'S NOT ABOUT THE GIFTS THEMSELVES! Rely on Him and have the best day of your life!!
